Namespaces: You can think of namespaces as folders.Create attributes by putting double colons after Attributes: Attributes are also pages and offer yet another stylistic alternative.Tags: Tags are also pages, they are only stylistic different.Ĭreate tags by putting a hash mark before the page name: #tag or #].Pages: Use ] to create and reference pages.Toolset available in Roam for organizing information I will then discuss how I use these or plan to use these. I'll start by first looking around in the "pantry" to see what we have available to cook from. I am sure that in a couple of years, I will have a very different perspective. What follows are some early thoughts on organizing information in Roam. Roam has many awesome features, but it is still in beta and very visibly evolving. TheBrain is a mature product, it has been on the market for 23 years now. I consider myself an advanced TheBrain user, but I am only just finding my way in Roam. One, thoughts have different colors, and two, I have lots of purple thoughts under my home thought. Links may also have a label, a direction, notes, attachments, and a Type. We call hierarchical relationships Parent and Child, and lateral relationships Jumps. Thoughts may have notes,Īttachments, Tags, and a single Type. The Plex is the canvas that holds your Thoughts. Mind-mapping and personal knowledge management system. Steeling the tagline from Roam, you could also describe it as a note-taking tool for networked thought. I will follow the same approach in this post as well, by first providing you a walkthrough of my Brain and then sharing my thoughts on organizing information in Roam. I am assessing how I can adapt those principles to the new environment in Roam. I frequently reach back to my Brain for past notes and to remind myself of the information organization principles I have developed over the years. The other is relatively new.Īfter close to two decades of using TheBrain, I migrated over to Roam Research in mid-2020. One that I have matured and used in TheBrain for close to eighteen years. In this post, I will share two approaches.
